4. Do one of the following to either keep or delete the access paths to the LDEVs:
• Select the Keep access path checkbox to remove the path from the storage group. The path itself
remains registered and the logical unit to which the path is set remains in the Open-Allocated group.
• Do not select the Keep access path checkbox. The path is removed from the storage group and from
the LU. The LU to which the path was set is moved to the Open-Unallocated group.
CAUTION: Before deleting a path, make sure that the path is no longer in use.
NOTE: For LUSE: If the LDEVs and paths to be deleted are in a LUSE volume and all paths of the
LUSE volume will be deleted, Device Manager allows you to delete the LUSE volume if desired. In this
case, if you choose OK without selecting Keep access path in the Remove Storage - Confirmation
panel, the Confirmation - LUSE panel displays. To delete the LUSE volume, select the Delete LUSE
button. To retain the LUSE volume, select the Keep LUSE button.
Restrictions for deleting access paths: For the StorageWorks XP512/XP48, storage (LDEVs) defined for
Business Copy XP or Continuous Access XP may not have a port or LUN assigned. Device Manager
cannot be used to remove storage that is incorrectly configured (lacking ports or LUNs, for example). Use
the SVP console to remove such storage.
5. If you chose to delete the access paths, read the warning (under Storage List in the Remove Storage -
Confirmation panel) about stopping I/O processing from all hosts to the specified LUN(s).
6. Select YES, I have confirmed it to confirm deletion of the specified path(s).
7. Select OK to delete the specified LUN(s) from the specified group and, if applicable, to remove the
specified path(s) from the LDEVs/LUs. Select Cancel to cancel your request to remove the storage.
LDEVs/LUs with no remaining paths are now listed in the Open-Unallocated group of the storage
subsystem (under All Storage or My Storage in the navigation frame).
7-6-6 Deleting a Storage Group
The system administrator, local system administrator, storage administrator, and local storage administrator
can delete storage groups. Guest and local guest users do not have access to this function.
When a storage group is deleted, both the volume paths and the data are deleted from the storage group that
is being deleted.
